Chicken satay noodles

There's this shop few streets away that sells grilled chicken satay and around the corner , a hole in the wall , where you can buy fish balls dipped in satay sauce . Seeing people scarfing these tasty treats , the wonderful aroma that you can't help but to inhale as you pass by , no wonder I've been craving for something spicy and peanuty these past few days .

I love noodles as much as rice , okay , more rice than noodles , and you can eat only so much gon chow ngau ho , so I'm always on the lookout for any stir fried noodle recipe . Actually , I've seen this recipe last year while I was browsing some food magazines at the library and only until now that I got to try it .

As with most stir fried noodles , making this is fuss-free . Just pan-fry everything , add in the cooked noodles and you're done ! The satay sauce though seems a bit thick so I added water before adding in the veggies . If you want it saucier , add more water , say , another a cup of hot water and no need to add any seasoning since the sauce is flavorful enough . Want a meatless version ? Try tofu , pan-fried it first , instead of chicken , or use veggies like cauliflower for a healthier alternative .

* Heat oil in a large pan and fry the chicken , over medium heat , until golden and cooked through , about 8 minutes ( 5 minutes ) . Add ground coriander and curry paste and fry for 1 minute .

* Stir in the peanut butter , sugar , coconut milk and water until combined , then add vegetables and simmer for 3-4 minutes until veggies are just tender .

* Stir in the lemon juice , then add in the noodles and most of the coriander . Heat until piping hot . Take pan off heat , divide into bowls , sprinkle over the remaining cilantro and serve immediately .

Anne, we also love rice or noodles meal! I particularly love your satay noodles: one complete balanced meal for the family...a quick one to prepare, very suitable for a chef who is at the same time a busy gardener now that spring time started! Thanks for sharing this inspiration:)

Hmmm..yumm...yumm... you had me drooling over the bowl of noodle. Seriously, am salivating! Anyway, I'm here to invite you to join my latest event called the 'International Yeasted Recipe'. You may share any of your recipes made with yeast and submit them to my event linky tool. Hope to see your creation there soon.Enjoy your week ahead dear.Blessings, Kristy

Your satay looks wonderful -- this may be silly, but I'm impressed at it's golden color, it looks so authentic! I just posted some peanut noodles the other day -- I can never get enough peanut sauce either
